"We recently returned from a one week stay at Sunrise Village and as a family with 2 young children, this hotel was perfectly suitable for us. We have travelled to many Greek islands before but never mainland Greece so this was somewhere new for us. The setting is breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the sea and mountains, a view you would never tire of. The pool area is beautiful, with tiered levels of sun loungers and parasols, always plenty available. The pool facilities were excellent, with a separate shallow kid’s pool and a small waterpark just a 5-minute walk across the complex. Lifeguard on duty at the water park, who is great. No lifeguard at the main pool. Location – the hotel is standalone with no shops or restaurants in the immediate vicinity, which we were aware of at time of booking. We took a short 10 minute taxi ride into Petalidi which was really lovely and enjoyed exploring the village with some nice cafes and restaurants, a few small shops and supermarkets, as well as a pharmacy if required. Accommodation – our initial room was very basic, just 4 single beds in a row, and the shower was lukewarm at best, however after some issues with our air con unit, we were moved to an executive room which was of a much better standard, so if we were to return I’d definitely book an executive room. The hotel staff were excellent at handling this issue and reception staff were always helpful. Food and drink – we found the restaurant food to be excellent, we love Greek food so were more than happy with the variety of traditional Greek options available each day, as well as plenty of fresh salad, fruit and home-made pizza. The restaurant team work incredibly hard to keep things turning over. We liked the alcoholic and non-alcoholic self service cocktails at the pool bar, however we were disappointed that there was no ice cream available at the pool bar - this was only available at lunch time and evening meal time. Any all-inclusive hotel we have been to before, has had ice cream available all day for the kids. Entertainment – this was run by the tour operators, none of them British, which wasn’t an issue as everything was spoken in English anyway. It was a little amateur, however, our kids enjoyed the evening mini disco most nights. The kids club was excellent, our children enjoyed bracelet making, rock painting, butterfly hunt, and visits to the play park. Timings were not clear as most of the information displayed around the hotel was not in English. The airport is really small and basic, there is a small duty free shop and some vending machines, but these are not available once you move to your departure gate so make sure to buy any drinks or snacks before going to gate! We would absolutely return to this hotel! Please ignore the negative reviews!"
